The document discusses the author's experience completing animation and design projects for their online course. They ran into issues with photo sizes and premium features when publishing their site. They were able to complete tasks like animating text, images, and shapes by using programs like GIMP and Giotto. However, they could not add some of the larger files to their site and had to provide them through an alternate file sharing method instead. Overall, the projects helped them learn new skills even if some elements did not publish as intended to their site.

I’mnot surewhy but why but when I add the photos in they were way bigger than
what fits and then when I published the site it showed up like the picture above.
That is why I added all the photos into this document. Also I figured out that I
cannot add in the files I did with Giotto unless I pay for the premium version of
the site. I also could not add them into this word document so I put the files in the
drop box where they will play through Windows Media Player.

3. Create yourname in textwithaneffector filter. Thiswasnothard to doit was cool to lookat the
differentthingsIcoulddowithmy name.IusedGIMP 2.0 forthispicture.
Add text of your future career and make the text rotate and flip. I might go to college for
Video Game Design I have thought about it before and it is a possibility. I used GIMP 2.0.

4. Animate your favorite sports team name with added effect not used already. With this I did
Ohio State because that is where I was born and they are my favorite team. I did a color
fade on this activity using GIMP 2.0.
Use a fade effect on your favorite quote. This is one of my favorite quotes so I did a fade on
it using GIMP 2.0. I think this is a very true quote.

5. Animate your name one letter at a time. With this activity I was able to edit each letter of
my name at a time waving it the way I wanted. This was fun to do using GIMP 2.0.
Create "Georgia Virtual School" in text with a different effect. This was easy to do I added a
border first and then added in a color effect into the words. For this activity I used GIMP 2.0
to get it done.

6. Create Motion Tween: This was not too hard to do I actually enjoyed making this and
messing around with the different effects. I used the program you recommended for this
Giotto and I tried to add it to my site but I’m not sure if it worked so I added the file in the
drop box.
Create Shape Tween: This was also fun to make not very hard once I figured out how to use
the program. I also used Giotto for this and had the same issue so the file is in the drop
box.
Create a button to use on a website: The home button was not hard to make on the website it
only took a few minutes. All I had to was add a link to GAVS homepage into the button and put a
title on the button.
Create an animation that reveals two different animations happening at the same time: This
activity was added into the drop box named as “2 Animations at once.” It was not hard to
do like I said before once I got to know how the program worked it was fun and easy to do.
